Story
Meet Thumbelina! This girl gets her name specifically because she has extra thumbs - aka she is a rare polydactyl cat! Thumbelina is an adult grey female who is believed to be around 2 years old. She found herself at a shelter with her litter of kittens. She befriended another cat, Peep, at the shelter. When we rescued Thumbelina and her last kitten, we knew we couldn't leave Peep behind. The two girls are very fond of each other and the best of friends. We don't require them to be adopted together, but they would surely love it! Thumbelina is spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, and up to date on prevention. She is FIV positive. She is currently fostered in a home with Peep. She has briefly been exposed to dogs and does well. She is extremely affectionate and enjoys being held and pet. Apply at: www.BridgeBetweenAnimalRescue.org/adopt

Story
Meet Peep! We don't know much about this sweet girl other than she spent FOURTEEN months in a rural shelter hidden from the world. She watched other cats and kittens come and go, but no one ever chose her. Until we came around! We saved her with her best friend, Thumbelina. The two were kept in a room together at the shelter and had become the best of friends. They don't have to be adopted together, but would surely love it! Peep is approximately two years old. She is vaccinated, spayed, microchipped, and up to date on prevention. She is very affectionate and enjoys love from humans. She has briefly been exposed to dogs and done well, and she is very friendly with Thumbelina who she is currently fostered with. Apply at: www.BridgeBetweenAnimalRescue.org/adopt

Layla is super sweet. She is about 4 years old. She loves attention and playing, so an ideal home would be one where she can have lots of attention. She loves to lay by you whenever she can.

Story
Hi I'm Lucy, I'm a 14 year old sweet senior gal who is looking for a loving retirement home! I love to snuggle when I'm the only pet and feel safe, otherwise I prefer to stay to myself. I love to play but spend most of my time sleeping and relaxing. Most days I keep to myself in a quiet room, under the bed or in my strawberry house. I'm very sweet but other pets make me a little shy. Ideally, I would really LOVE a home where I can get all the attention, but I'm used to busy households. I've been with one family my whole life, but there are big changes happening and my mom is trying hard to keep me out of a shelter. In a perfect world you'd be able to let me sleep next to you every night! I do really love a clean litter box! I will need a good teeth cleaning but I’m healthy. Thank you for considering me for a quiet retirement 💕

Story
Meet Willie Nelson — no, not *that* Willie Nelson — but this guy has the same soulful eyes and a lifetime of stories (mostly about snacks). This whiskered outlaw is equal parts independent spirit and professional cuddle consultant. By day, Willie enjoys staring out the window like he’s thinking up his next hit single. By night, he’ll curl up beside you, purring like a contented, furry engine. Willie believes in 3 things: loyalty, love, and never sharing his human—he does best as the object of your singleminded devotion. He is 3 - 5 years old and had a rough life before coming into foster. He is FIV+ but this disease isn’t contagious and doesn't require medication. He’s looking for a forever home with cozy spots, kind hands, and someone who understands that closed doors are simply suggestions. Adopt Willie Nelson. Because every home deserves a little outlaw heart and a whole lot of purr.

Story
I found a beautiful long haired torti cat, female, approx 2 yrs old. I’ve had her for 12 weeks now and she is the most adorable, loveable silly little cat. She loves to be petted, brushed and sleep in her very soft bed. She just wants to live a calm life with maybe a single person. Her name is Annie. Annie is still learning how to be a sociable, trusting cat but is still a little fearful at times. I’m certain she will be the most loving social cat for that one special person in her life. I cannot keep her but I’m also not willing to put her back on the street. She loves to play with her toys, loves head rubs and is a silly, playful little girl of 8 lbs! I love her so much! She has been spayed, microchipped and up to date on shots. Isn’t she lovely!
